1. Greening. This greening is a key step in the quality of green tea. The purpose is to destroy the enzymes in fresh tea leaves and obtain the color, aroma and flavor that green tea should have.

2. The next step is to evaporate the water. We can reduce the water in the tea leaves by drying them in the sun or dry-frying them in a wok. Make the tea leaves change from bright green to dark green, until the leaves are soft and slightly sticky when pinched with your hands.

3. Kneading. The purpose of kneading is very simple. It is to slim down the body and prepare for dry tea leaves. Kneading is generally divided into two categories, hot kneading and cold kneading. In fact, the explanation is very simple. Hot kneading: kneading immediately after greening; cold kneading: kneading after cooling the tea leaves. After kneading, the tea leaves adhere to the leaf surface and have a smooth and sticky texture when touched. This is the best way to make tea.

4. Drying; there are many storage and drying methods. We use a prepared dryer here to improve the quality of the leaves on the basis of finishing them. Changes shape after kneading process. Draining more moisture is also better for storage.

5. Finally, our tea must meet safe storage conditions. (It is best if the water content is 5~6% and can be broken into powder by hand kneading)
